This vintage Bedouin face veil, commonly known as the burqa', is a traditional garment worn by Bedouin women in the Southern Sinai desert region of Egypt. It dates back to the second half of the 20th century and features intricate embroidery in geometrical diamond patterns on its top band. This band is adorned with two rectangular, embossed brass elements with spherical dangles. They hang just above the eyes. The center of the band is embellished with two hands of Fatima. Attached to the ends through hoops, two hand woven bands, possibly a more recent addition, secure the veil to the head. Beads in shades of blue, red, orange, black, and white are woven into a long string and hang from either side of the top band.
The lower part of the veil is made of a sheer material, possibly silk, and is sewn on top of a backing textile made of a combination of stain and cotton. The top border is adorned with an x motif and the veil is further adorned with three rows of Ottoman coins, the largest is a medallion with Koranic verses. The veil is also decorated with brass elements and buttons. 

 

The veil is in good vintage condition. A similar veil can be seen in the Textile Research Center (Leiden) (TRC 2004.0066)

great if you wanna just keep buying more and never actually moisturize
Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this is the least moisturizing lotion I have ever used in my entire life. it goes on so thick and smooth and feels great and smells great but then a couple hours later my skin feels dry and needs more.. and if you put it on at night, when you wake up the next morning, your skin is completely ashy and flaky. It’s absolutely awful.

Eczema
Puriya 5-in-1 Eczema Cream is worth every penny. While it may be priced slightly higher than some other creams, the quality and effectiveness make it a great value—especially since a little goes a long way! After trying countless products that either didn’t work or needed constant reapplication, this cream truly stands out for its long-lasting hydration and soothing effect. The scent is subtle and pleasant, which is perfect for sensitive skin. Unlike some lotions that have overpowering fragrances, this has a mild, natural aroma that doesn't linger or irritate. Most importantly, its effectiveness is unmatched! From the first use, the intense itching and irritation noticeably calmed down, and with regular application, I’ve seen a huge improvement in skin texture and hydration. It absorbs quickly, without feeling greasy, and provides relief for hours. Whether you're dealing with eczema, dry patches, or general skin discomfort, this cream delivers real results.

It works very well.
I recommend this cream for eczema. I had several spots on my body so I would slather it on and with in 1 month the spots on my body were gone. BUT the spots on my scalp have not gone as it is hard to put this on your hair/ scalp every time it itches. So this has been an ongoing problem but it does soothe the skin that is flaring up.

Best Cream!!
Love this stuff! I got this because menopause was killing my skin. It was awful! Itchy, red and dry. I couldn't sleep it was so bad. I found this, and it's literally the only thing that actually helped. I went through my first jar quickly, no you don't need much, but my rash was all over my arms, neck and chest. After my second jar and using it a few times a day, my rash is gone! Some people may not like the smell, but I think it's actually nice. It's not greasy, and I don't feel gross after putting it on. I hate greasy creams. On my third jar now! This one is lasting much longer since I don't need it as much.
